A2 Biology Photosynthesis

?
the 3 light dependent reactions
photophosphorylation, photolysis, production of reduced NADP
1 of 21
An important enzyme used to combine CO2 with a 5carbon acceptor molecule
Rubisco ( Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase)
2 of 21
both reactions occur where?
in the chloroplasts
3 of 21
the light dependent reaction occur in the?
thylakoid
4 of 21
the light independent reaction occurs in the?
stroma
5 of 21
the master pigment is called
Chlorophyll A
6 of 21
2 types of chlorophyll A?
P680 and P700
7 of 21
Examples of accessory pigments?
Xanthophyll and Chlorophyll B
8 of 21
The 2 chlorophylls and their accessory pigments are called?
Photosystem 1 and photosystem 2
9 of 21
Products of the light dependent reaction?
ATP, reduced NADP
10 of 21
Autotroph
organisms that make organic molecules from inorganic molecules
11 of 21
Heterotroph
rely on other organisms from whom they feed or digest their organic molecules
12 of 21
what is photolysis
the energy from excited chlorophyll A splits water into protons, electrons and oxygen
13 of 21
what is photophosphorylation
energy from excited chlorophyll A's electrons is used to create ATP
14 of 21
another name for the light independent reaction?
calvin cycle
15 of 21
Process of calvin cycle
CO2 + ribulose bisphosphate - gylcerate-3-phosphate - triose phosphate - either glucose or ribulose phosphate
16 of 21
Variables influencing photosynthesis
availability of water, light intensity, wavelength of light and temperature
17 of 21
Action Spectra
shows how active the pigments included in photosynthesis are at wavelengths
18 of 21
Absorption Spectra
shows what light is absorbed and reflected
19 of 21
what is non-cyclic photophosohorylation
photosynthesis is usually non-cyclic - electrons pass on one direction from PS2 to PS1
20 of 21
what is cyclic photophosphorylation
if a plant needs to make morr ATP, the electrons can pass back to PS2 at the end of the ETC
